THE SPOT CELEBRATES 70 YEARS IN A BIG WAY

Radio Station Alive105 broadcasted live from the restaurant at 45 North Ocoee St., and Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland issued an official Proclamation, declaring July 23rd as “Spot Day in Cleveland.”  There was plenty of food, music, prizes and fun for all, plus a special “junior Frosty” available for just 70 cents.  And a sock hop, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, added to the festivities and gave everyone the chance to juke and jive.

Kids of all ages converged on The Spot for the big celebration, and the Frosty machine was whirring away as diners sat on the famous bar stools and munched on cheeseburgers, fries and chili dogs.  And those who were bold enough ordered an Orange Crush Shake, made with the original soft drink, and a tribute to owner Allan Jones’ beloved “Big Orange” Tennessee Volunteers.

Manager Martha Adams proudly displays the Mayor’s Proclamation.
